I love Criminal Minds and this gave me the same feeling of tense and mystery! I want more books in this series so bad!!!!! Just more cases and more for the characters to solve. The characters felt so real and even though they are wicked smart and doing things they should definitely not be doing as a teenagers, they still had the stubborness and such that teens have. This book is perfect if you love cozy mystery but with more plot, and higher stakes.

I pride myself in being able to predict where things are going in shows, movies, books. This book literally had me in the first half, thinking I’d guessed where it was going. But holy shit. NOTHING could’ve prepared me for that ending.

The best part of this series is how it keeps me guessing & on my toes. And the fact that the teens sounds like real human beings, not way too exaggerated, if a little fucked up. Very 3 dimensional characters. The plot flows real well too. Definitely one of my fav series now.

I am absolutely and utterly shocked. Jennifer Lynn Barnes has me absolutely shocked. My jaw has dropped and I’ve had to pause reading so many times because I cannot comprehend how Barnes thought of this, and connected it so well. The way that the other books with seemingly unrelated topics/cases all tie together is absolutely brilliant. I was 100% addicted to this whole series. I want so badly for there to be more of these books. These books were such good ya suspense/thriller books, I highly recommend.

I would say this is more for older teens, at LEAST 13+ if not higher. It is suspense/thriller and deals with murder and serial killers, so not for the faint of heart
